前译使用了人称主语句,译出了原文所省略的人称主语“我”,更充分地显露了潜藏我内心的如数家珍般的审美意识和审美态度,而后译的口吻则带有更多的客观色彩,因此美感就比较逊色。又如:

单是周围的短短的泥墙根一带,就有无限趣味。

a. Just the foot of the low mud wall around the garden was a source of unfailing interest.
1705045305
1705045306
b. At the foot of the low mud wall, one could already have great fun.
1705045307
1705045308
鉴别源自比较。前译使用了一个美感十足的词汇source,再与unfailing interest相配,原句所含的激情得以自然传递。后译口吻客观,使用一个one,与great fun搭配,美感顿显苍白。

有人说,激情的人生追求必将使英语学习变为一种审美。其实,高情商又何尝不使翻译变成一种美感活动呢?

When my husband, Bill and I were courting, just a phone call could send us quivering with excitement. We went on impromptu picnics, called each other Sweet Patootie and left mash notes in strange places. Cheeks flushed, hearts raced, palms sweated.

And then we got married.

Mortgage payment rolled in. A son, housekeeping, jobs and just plain old familiarity forced romance out. Faced with the choice of watching TV or sharing a passionate moment, I am embarrassed at how often we cast our vote for Jerry Seinfeld.

高“情商”,使原文作者落笔有神。初恋如痴如醉,婚后生活平淡无奈,皆为真情告白,且美感笼罩着此段的遣词造句。

如此译文,犹如一杯浓香扑鼻的上等咖啡,换成了一杯白开水。没了激情,没了文采,没了美感。
